Apple’s annual World Wide Developer Conference(WWDC) kicks off tomorrow in San Francisco. And yes, the rumor mill is now churning at full speed with speculation.

To help make sense of the hearsay, here’s a concise summary of everything Apple is rumoured to debut Monday morning.

iOS 8 Predictions

The next version of iOS is absolutely coming, according to WWDC event banners photographed last week. Here’s what we know:

Healthbook

Apple will debut a Passbook-style health app tomorrow, according to detailed leaks published back in March. While some rumors suggest that Apple has health-tracking hardware in the works, such claims have died down in recent months.

Apple is not expected to redesign iOS this time around. The flat, glass like aesthetic of iOS 7 is here to stay.

Mac OS X 10.10 Predictions

Tomorrow Apple will debut the next major version of Mac OS X, perhaps under the name “OS X Yosemite,” according to recent trademark filings.

Major Redesign

The next version of OS X is expected to feature an iOS 7-like design overhaul. The redesign is thought to mirror iOS 7 and 8 with glass-like effects, flat icons, and an overall minimalistic style which may finally do away with brushed aluminum design elements.

New Macs

Apple TV

For years, Apple analysts and insiders predicted Apple would introduce a new, revolutionary television product — yet here we are, forever stuck with consistently minor upgrades to the original Apple TV.

Some insist that a revolutionary new Apple TV is still in the works. We’re not holding our breath.

Developer Tools

Apple is expected to debut the next version of its developer IDE, Xcode 6. The update may feature a new iOS simulator app. Along similar lines, Apple may debut new “improved tools for developers to build iCloud-infused applications.”
